- Hawley talks about what drew him to Legion/David Haller's story- Wanted to create an experience of what it's like to be David, explaining the reasoning behind the structure of the show- About the X-Men Universe that he likes the most is the morality of it, where good and evil are not clear cut

SPOILER WARNING Short video of Dan talking about David's parentage (SPOILER for those unfamiliar with the character in the comics). Beforewarned, he makes a brief, somewhat innocuous comment regarding other characters that can be spoilerish (fits with popular fan-theory floating about right now).

“It’s a comment on how we deal with people who are different, and how we maybe suppress them unconsciously.” https://t.co/N63p4qmbR3

- Post-acting school found her nannying, hostessing, manning a juice truck, and selling homemade vegan baked goods before her big role on Hawley's Fargo FX TV series- Hawley asked her to audition for the lead female role on Legion after S2 wrapped on Fargo- Talks about her character, Syd Barrett (a nod to the late Pink Floyd frontman), her powers, and trying to have on-screen chemistry when her character can't physically touch others without switching places with them- Was more of a Calvin and Hobbes reader than a comic book reader - “It’s a comment on how we deal with people who are different, and how we maybe suppress them unconsciously.” on the show's timeliness and theme under the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's administration---I'm enjoying the hell out of this show =) The X-Men-meets-Pushing-Daisies vibe is what I'm all about. Thoughts and theories for tonight's episode?

Today, Susan Sarandon appeared on MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes to talk about 45. She is also joined with Josh Fox. Let's just say her interview will leave you grabbing your hair in frustration.

Topics talked about:how people are wasting time attacking her for her thoughts on politicshow clumsy 45 has been and how peaceful change could've been with Sanderspipelines especially the Dakota Access Pipeline (Susan hammered Hayes about not talking about DAPL on MSNBC)fracking and Obama/HRC's choice to side with oilsget Keith Ellison as DNC Chair and protests will continue to happenhow America is trailing behind EU in regards alternative energy sourceshow people are WOKE because of 45

While on Watch What Happens Live, Ryan Murphy was asked about the new season of American Horror Story and said: "I don't have a title, but the season we begin shooting in June will be about the election that we just went through."

In what I can only discribe as something I would read here, Bee starts by making a Portrait of Republic "leader", Paul Ryan.

But soon, she goes to highlight how spineless Ryan was is by saying: "Watching Ryan playing moral watchdog was like watching Taylor Swift pretending to be surprised at an award show, band and fake, but really compelling."

Finally, she goes for the jugular with the following advise: "Take another cue from Taylor Swift, Mr. Speaker, know when to dump the guy you've only been pretending to like to help your career" and a pic of Taylor and Tom while they were "dating".

Do you think she'll be sharing the same special place in Hell that tina fey and amy poehler, ONTD?How long before Lena Dunham writes an big ass IG post defening Twift while still making it all about herself?

-GQ does a few interesting articles about the eclectic soundtrack for the Young Pope -One of the big things that makes The Young Pope so intersting is it's use of contemporary music set to traditional (glamorous) catholic backdrops. -Academy award winning director/creator Paolo Sorrentino is a fan of electronic music-One scene features Jude Law getting ready to address the clergy set to 'Sexy and I Know It' by LMFAO-Sorrentino gives full credit to the editor, who nervously suggested the track. Sorrentino ended up loving it and kept it immediatley. -Sorrentino speaks more about the music of the show in another GQ profile (here)

So the finale aired on Monday for those of us in the US. It's not the biggest audience for HBO (on par with Veep) but it's an unexpected critical hit for them with low financial risk on their end. Honestly some of the best TV I've seen. Ever. The music plays a big part.

- Ashton Kutcher spoke yesterday to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on ending modern slavery and human trafficking - Outlined the work his organisation, which he co-founded with Demi Moore, Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children, does: develops software to “leverage technology to combat predatory behaviour, rescue victims, and protect vulnerable children"- Talked about how technology is simply "a tool without will, the will is the user of that technology" and while it can be used to enable slavery but it can be used to fight it- Spoke about the need for financing but explained how the technology would become more cost effective over time - Conveyed how we need to be doing better preventative work and to go after the "pipeline" and used the foster care system as an example. Children in foster care are four times more likely to be exposed to sexual abuse. Further, when children are taken out of trafficking there is not enough support for them and most end up being trafficked again- Closed by outlining the differences between sex and labour trafficking, how they need different legislations and how economic consequences should not outweigh moral consequence (sweet summer child)
